Lucy is still adjusting to changes, but her charming personality shines through as she interacts well with cats and dogs in her foster home. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and considered house trained. Lucy will receive a dental procedure in a couple of weeks to make her even healthier. Although we're still getting to know her, she’s already proven to be a loving companion. If you're interested in fostering to adopt Lucy, please reach out to A Home 4 Spot.
